New Items:

Families - we need your help with student safety each morning and afternoon. Students who arrive early are not supervised by school staff. Students should not arrive until 8:30 to be sure our staff are available to help everyone start their day positively. As a reminder, Safety Patrol students should not arrive before 8:20. We have had students coming early and gathering on our playground. Please make sure you help us by keeping students home or in the car until after 8:30! Thank you!

Student Medications - Parents and Guardians, Just a reminder to pick up your student’s left over medications from the Health Office. Our district does not allow us to send medications home with students, except for emergency medications. All others need to be picked up by an adult. Medications that are not picked up will be destroyed as they cannot be carried over to another school year. Thank you!

Lunch Accounts -In order to balance our accounts in the lunch program at the close of the school year, we need to have your child's lunch account balance at zero or above. Please bring it up to date as soon as possible. Any remaining balance will remain in your child's account and carry over for next year. If your children will not be attending Cedar Falls schools next year, please let us know as soon as possible and they will be given a refund of the balance left in their account at the end of the year. If you have any questions, please call Mrs. Czuba at 319- 553-2989.

Lost and Found - as we near the end of the school year, please make sure to check the lost and found. We will donate all remaining items during the summer. Thank you!

Information To Remember:

Arrival And Dismissal - we are working to help our students safely enter and leave the building. In the morning, students can arrive between 8:30 and 8:45. They will report to their classrooms. We do not provide supervision before 8:30 AM. At the end of the day, we will first dismiss students by grade who ride the bus. Following this, we will dismiss students who are picked up or walk home. Our staff will walk students to the door. Our Kindergarten and 1st grade students will dismiss at their outside classroom doors, second grade will dismiss onto the east playground, third grade will also dismiss onto the east playground, fourth grade will dismiss using our main entrance doors on 8th street and 5th and 6th grade will dismiss using our 7th street doors. We appreciate families making and following consistent after school plans, please do not ask your students to wait on our playgrounds until you are able to arrive.  Thank you for helping us support safe morning arrivals and afternoon dismissals!

Wednesday Early Dismissal - we dismiss every Wednesday at 1:50 PM. Please be sure to set a reminder to pick up students promptly. Our staff use this time to collaborate to support learning for our students.

Snacks and Birthday Treats - We are proud to be a Blue Zones school and encourage healthy choices when students bring food for their daily snack. In addition, to support safety this school year when celebrating birthdays, we will ask for families to bring prepackaged items to minimize handling. Thank you!

Have a great weekend!
